TIIA triggers DNA double-strand breaks in AGS cells. (A) Images of AGS cells were obtained by fluorescence microscopy after 48 hr of TIIA treatment. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue), actin filaments were stained with rhodamine-labeled phalloidin (red), and γ-H2AX were stained with mouse anti-γ-H2AX antibody and the corresponding FITC-conjugated secondary anti-mouse IgG antibody (green). Each zoomed panel shows representative γ-H2AX distributions in detail. Scale bars represent 10 μm. (B) Protein expression of γ-H2AX increases under an IC50 dose of TIIA; samples were analyzed by Western blotting with β-actin as internal control. Histogram values for fold change are expressed as mean ± SD from three independent experiments.
